How 4 Village War Arose.

heard a strange story recently. 1t
seems that family living in subur-
ban town, being about to go away for
month, and wishing to put their silver
where 1t would be secure from bur-
glars, obtained permission to store it
in a closet adjoining the library of a
neighbours house. The neighbor' s
family consisted Of himself, several
children. including one son who has
the reputation OF being fast youth, and
three or four servants. In due tine
the owners Of the silver returned, and
sending for the box containing it,
prepared the table for supper, and
found to their surprise and horror
that a small tea service was missing.
The situation was a delicate one, and
the matter was broken gently to the
custodian OF the silver. Inquiries
were set on foot, questions were asked
of the servants II the neighbor's house;
incauti0nS remarks were made by the
owners Of the silver; it seemed cleal
that It had bCel stolen, and suspicion
was naturally cast Up-n almost every.
body III the house whence it has been
taken. Finally, the servants became
incenSed at what they asserted 10 bt
insulting investigation, and they left the
house in a body. Very shortly after
it began to be whispered about that
the dissipa;ed son Of the neighbor WAS
the guilty person. This coming to the
ears of his father led 10 violent words
and the suspension of all intercourse
between the two families. The gossips
in the town talked of nothing else
everybody took sides; the matter got
into the church which both parties at.
tended, and, in short, the entire com.
munity was on the verge Of civaI war,
when, in a fortunate moment, the
missing silver was discovered IN a
drawer, where 1t had been put away
with great care some months before
by the mistress of the house. The
affair was thus explained, but wound:
that will require years to heal had
been inflicted.

Writing In Nature about cannibalism
In snakes, Mr.. John rockingham says:
"About eighteen months ago, just pre-

thrown down in front of the door of our

and freed from gristle or strings, add
an equal quantity of mashed or sliced
boiled potato. Mix well together, and
season with pepper and salt. Put into
a frying pan a large cupful OF
boiling water, with half as much gravy
from which the fat has been skinned,
and a teaspoonful Of made mustard,
If you have no gravy, substitute soup
stock or a cupful OF soup left over
from yesterday. Boil up briskly before
stirring in the chopped meat and
potato. Toss and stir until the con-
tents of the pan are bubbling, smok-
ing heap. Be careful that the hash Is

liquid too rapidly, and do not lot the
hash stick to the bottom OF the pan.
The country housekeeper who has

gravy nor stock, double the quantity OF
butter, dissolving in the boiling water.
